Nakki Lake[/caption]
In the evening, most people make their way to the Old Market and the Nakki Lake, which is the most happening area in the town, where they hang out around the lake and enjoy softy. My friend told me the Mount Abu is quite famous for its softy and the Abu Road. Also, a city 20 km down of Mount Abu is famous for ‘rabri’.

The Nakki Lake is a beautiful lake with a promenade built around it where people walk or sit on benches. It is completely a relaxed atmosphere. The Nakki Lake needs a little bit of cleaning as its water stinks on the other end of the lake, opposite to the market side. I climbed up to the “Toad Rock”, from where I got a mesmerising view of the Nakki Lake and the Mount Abu town. The Toad Rock got its name from its toad-like shape. While coming down to the Nakki Lake from the Toad Rock above, I saw a board claiming something very interesting. Check out the photo:

There are various other strange and different kinds of rock formations around the Mount Abu town which are sure to be a never-before experience. As the income of this town is based on tourism, it is common knowledge that shops charge local people and tourist differently.

My first evening at Mount Abu was quite relaxing and enjoyable. I will spend few more days here and then I will move further on my cycling trip into the North Indian summer heat.
